I bought this book as an adult. I came from Germany to US in the late 1980s and have been living in PA for more than a decade now, where PA "Deitsch" heritage is very present to this day. Being German, I can decipher many of the PA Dutch words although their unique spelling based on regional German dialects are sometimes puzzling but always very entertaining to me. Case in point the word "Oahrich" in the title which represents the German word Arche (ark) pronounced in a Southern German / Austrian accent. I enjoyed the book very much and recommend it to anyone interested in or amused by PA Dutch!
